Recommendation Detail

HEP-142

Human Environment (People) Effects Assessment High Priority

Assess the safety protocols for 'mobile explosives loading trucks' accessing the 'explosives magazine' located away from the central service area.

Strategic Rationale

"The Proponent's submission notes that explosives magazines will be accessible to mobile trucks. Given that Melgund has no local police or emergency response capacity, the security and safety of explosives transport on or near the site is a critical vulnerability. The community needs assurance that these mobile hazards are managed with total self-sufficiency, as no local first responders exist to handle an accidental detonation or spill."
